From First Looks to Forever

Taylor and Zak knew early on that they wanted a wedding day that felt like them comfortable, beautiful, and straight-up fun. Lincoln Farmstead delivered on all fronts with rustic charm, rolling green views, and a chandelier that made the reception space shine. The energy was personal and relaxed, with all the elegance you’d want from an outdoor wedding in Huntley, Illinois.

A Personal Ceremony Full of Heart

Taylor’s brother-in-law, Milton, stepped up as the officiant for their outdoor ceremony a first-time gig for him, and one he nailed. Family and friends gathered in the sun as Taylor and Zak shared their vows, honored loved ones with a moment of silence, and exited to “Forever” by Chris Brown, channeling The Office in the most iconic way.

The couple opted for a first look before the ceremony, allowing them a few quiet moments together before things kicked off. And yeah… it was a total vibe.

Natural Details & Meaningful Moments

This wasn’t just another pretty wedding—it was layered with personal touches:

• Terracotta, taupe, and blue tones added warmth and softness to the day

• Memorials honored loved ones who couldn’t be there

• Guests’ first dance songs played during dinner (yes, we loved that too)

• Their reception was packed with family dances, laughter, and a whole lot of movement on the dance floor

From emotional speeches to an intimate last dance at 10:30 PM, every part of the day was carefully thought out and lived out to the fullest.

Animal Lovers & Fun Energy All Day Long

Let’s not forget: their dogs were the real stars of the ceremony. One was the best man/ring bearer. The other? Maid of honor and flower girl. We’re obsessed.

The bridal party talked animals and music all morning. The guys? Sports and more sports. The vibe across both spaces was chill, with just the right amount of anticipation.

From the Couple

“Our wedding was beautiful, comfortable, and FUN.”
